Greater Manchester Chamber Chief Executive Clive Memmott has been awarded an OBE for services to the business community in the Queen’s Birthday Honours List.
Clive has been the Chamber’s CEO since autumn 2010 and has guided the Chamber, the UK’s largest, through a period of growth to firmly establish it as a leading business organisation representing its members, delivering more services across the wider Greater Manchester business community and playing an increasing role in local decision making.
On his award Clive said: “I am of course delighted at this award and the recognition, but it is also a reflection on the team at the Chamber, our fantastic members , partners, patrons and all the other organisations that work with us that make up the GM business community. It’s crucial though that our work doesn’t just focus on the business side of things, but takes into account the culture and wider community of the city region we work and live in. That is an important part of my role and something that means a lot to me.”
In addition to his role at the Chamber Clive sits on a number of Boards of local and national groups including the British Chambers of Commerce.
